Hutchinson's teeth is a sign of congenital syphilis. Affected people have teeth that are smaller and more widely spaced than normal and which have notches on their biting surfaces.
It is named for Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, a British surgeon and pathologist, who first described it.
Hutchinson's teeth form part of Hutchinson's triad.
